I also have a 60hz monitor non-gsync.
after tinkering I found the solution.
It seems except 16-bit mode you also have to set compatibility to Win XP SP3. Then game runs fine.
If you set it to win95/98 game window and windows screen and mouse cursor become slow and if you maximise window, mouse cursor becomes normal but game becomes super fast.
However it you try to press full screen keys (alt+enter) it freezes and you have to click new game. This only for Samurai Showdown 2.Fatal Fury 3 does not have this issue.
Also if you click on any menu, eg to change controls, game freezes again. Samurai Showdown again, ff3 works fine.
in ss2 a"pause" sign appears, yet you are locked from unpausing it as no key works, Enter in that case, like FF3.
In which, I totally didn't set anything for windows mode

I don't usually run game in fullscreen as I much more prefer in windows mode, especially game as old as this. Of course this game will definitely run "slow" in full screen 640 x 480 mode as DirectDraw is not optimized under fullscreen in modern windows, in which it must rely on 3rd party directx dll to fix it.
Also I'm suspecting the game is using vsync which caused your 144 Hz Monitor unable to render properly in windows mode which caused stuttering issue.
I'm using 60 Hz ViewSonic monitor so I don't have this issue

you have an older gpu probably that has an advantage on running older games because of older drivers
They'd run better the games than the latest gpu without wrappers because they don't spend time optimising their drivers for older games , dropping compatibility
I'm running on AMD Ryzen 5 3600x and AMD Radeon RX 570, in which I don't think it is consider "older GPU"

It was the same solution found in the wiki for Bust a move 4, which is also slow. Try to run it without Dxwrapper to see if you have slowdown there too.

Poor performance in Windows 10 • Link
Using DxWrapper (Windows 10)[1]-
Works for both windowed and fullscreen.
- Download the lastest release of DxWrapper.
-
Go to <path-to-game>, and extract
dxwrapper.dll,dxwrapper.iniandddraw.dll(the last one is inside "Stub" folder) there. -
Set
DDrawCompat=0to 1 indxwrapper.ini - Click the Compatibility tab, turn on Reduced color mode, select 16-bit color from the dropdown list, click Apply, then click OK.
- Run the game.
Though I think it also has to do with the GPU and drivers. I use a mobile nvidia gtx 1060.
No no no no no, I don't even checked the compatibility tab or anything, and not even used the Reduced color mode when running the game on window mode.

6. Launch game via Loader.exe. Colours should display properly and game will run smoothly. If you do not use DXwrapper, game will be very slow to the point of being unplayable. You can not use Full screen but you can adjust game window size
Erm... nope? The game will be very slow to the point of being unplayable never happened on my Windows 10/11 environment for window mode.
To note: I'm using a standard 60 Hz monitor. -
Oh yeah, just below 500 MB is sufficient

What other games had PC ports that were left behind in Asia
Seems nobody paid attention to P.T.O. (Pacific Theater of Operation), otherwise knows as Teitoku no Ketsudan Series

How is the X1 port?
I haven't tried for a long time, and from the last time I played X1, it is quite not the experience I have in SNES.
Oh yeah, it was DOS port, and it might be a bit sluggish in DosBox. I might try it again -
First thing first, I have all the Rockman / Megaman X to X8 PC version including the X7 Korean, except X2 in which it doesn't released on PC
Second, I only have the Metal Slug Anthology for PC, in which is not the same as Humble Bundle low quality Emu encapsulated game -
Sakura Wars 1 - 4 article for PCGW is one of my target article creation and I'm glad to hear that there is other version than Japanese and Chinese Traditional.
You may see my workings here regarding Rare and obscure PC games, mostly from Taiwan and Japanese.
Currently I need to complete all the details of article in PCGW that I had touched before I works on Sakura Wars articles
Found method to make Samurai Showdown 2 and Fatal Fury 3 Windows version work on Windows 10

Windows 10 and 11 are the same kernel core hence it is not a problem.
I had no problem running 2 games under Win 10/11 (currently 11), either 64 bit and 32 bit (I have notebook installed Win 10 32 bit with much lower spec) and I can confirmed that the above problem didn't happened to me in both computer (only in Windows mode)
For full screen mode, due to the incompatibility with DirectDraw, modified ddraw.dll must be used hence your method is suitable for full screen mode.
